Cape Tribulation, Have You Seen Me and Charity Lane look the trio to concentrate upon and we are with Cape Tribulation. Malcolm Jefferson holds the four-year-old in high regard and having shown impressive form in two outings thus far, the Malton handler has had no qualms about putting him up against stronger opposition and we think that he can make the leap in grade. Have You Seen Me already looks a chaser in the making. He impressed greatly at Stratford and has a future career. Charity Lane is another dual winner. George Moore's strike rate over the last two weeks has been phenomenal and a bold show can be anticipated. Captain Oscar was an impressive second on debut at Newbury on soft ground and could be anything. Dayia won the big mares race at Newbury and will be in receipt of weight from her male counterparts. Copper Bleu was bought out of Donal Coffey's yard in Ireland following a success in a Cork bumper. Touch Of Irish has won two bumpers at Newcastle. The form looks nothing special but the latter victory came under a penalty. Cloudy Times was a rare bumper winner for Sue Smith and her yard are at least in form. This is one race for the video as there will be a fair battalion of winners and we like Cape Tribulation.
